Play-ground of Yellow-spotted Bower-Bird (Chlamydodera guttata).

A photo or two of a bower constructed by one of these guys would be worth more than a thousand words. —EncMstr (talk) 22:10, 4 March 2009 (UTC)2600:6C48:7006:200:5C10:C716:750B:C3B2 (talk) 01:14, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I also request pix of a nest with eggs laid by a female, and pix of a female bird distinct from a male. Also: seems to me a female should be laying more than two eggs per nest to help maintain species population. 2600:6C48:7006:200:5C10:C716:750B:C3B2 (talk) 01:14, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
